This dapper, elegant family was celebrating a very special day…their baby girl’s christening. They had to arrive at the church fairly early in the morning, so our session was first thing and the grass was still dewy! Although it was early and a bit chilly, we managed to make it fun and captured some beautiful […]
I have been so lucky to be the family photographer for this sweet, lovable family for an amazing seven years. Let me say that again; seven years! That’s what made this special, among other things. I met this beautiful young lady when she was just three years old, and it’s become so meaningful to me […]
I have a few solid color backdrops that I use in my studio here in Oceanside for headshots. I let the client choose, but what usually happens is that we choose together based what clothes they bring. Sometime people will show up in what they want to wear and not bring anything else (these people […]
Little boys. Need I say more? Whether they are being sweet and cuddly, or running around with wild abandon, little boys kinda-always steal my heart during their sessions. They never fail to bring the energy and fun to a shoot, and when there is more than one? Forget about it, and let’s have some fun! […]

Funny story, I took these lovely ladies’ photos last year. But what I didn’t know is that baby boy was already with us! He was snug as a bug in mamma’s belly growing getting ready to be loved like crazy. My goodness, he is adorable. You can tell he is doted on and loved to […]
I used to believe that headshots for little kids or young teens would be harder than with adults. Headshots rely primarily on small posing adjustments, and sometimes young children are not known for their ability to sit still (nor should they have to). But what I have pleasantly found out is that kids can’t help […]
How did this happen?! My cousins are somehow seniors in high school, and time is a thief. I grew up in a town called Valparaiso Indiana. I moved away from my home town and all my family in 1998! I have now lived in NY for as long as I lived in Indiana. That’s crazy to […]
Little boys are so fun! A boy mom once told me that when you add boys to the equation, it’s not addition, it’s exponential. They feed off of each other and rile each other up in the best way. Boys playing is a frenetic experience, with lots of movement. So what does that mean for […]
